Background: This study investigates the utility of low-density scalp electrical source imaging (LD-ESI) of the Ictal Onset Zone (IOZ) and interictal spike ripple high frequency oscillation (ISRHFO) networks using Source Coherence Maps (SCM) in the surgical evaluation of children with medically refractory epilepsy. Invasive intracranial monitoring, the gold standard for determining epileptogenic zones, has limited spatial sampling. SCM presents a promising new non-invasive diagnostic technique. Methods: This was a retrospective review of 11 patients who underwent focal resections. SCMs were generated using Standardized Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (sLORETA). SCM concordance to resection margins was assessed, noting outcomes at 3 years. Results: For 7/11 cases, ictal SCMs included the resection, and 5/7 achieved seizure freedom, indicating inclusion of the epileptogenic zone. For the 2/7 not seizure-free, the IOZ networks on the SCMs extended beyond resection margins, suggesting the epileptogenic zone also extended beyond the resection. Interictal spike ripple ESI and ISRHFO SCM were performed for 7/11, with 3/7 included in the resection and all 3 seizure-free. Conclusions: These findings may support LD-ESI of the IOZ and ISRHFO network using SCM as promising methods complementary to ictal and interictal ESI in pediatric epilepsy surgical workup, guiding electrode placement for intracranial monitoring to identify the epileptogenic zone.
